LOUIS: A chorus of critics painted Donald Trump as a dictator in the making Sunday, after he threatened to imprison Hillary Clinton if he wins the White House. President Barack Obama’s former attorney general, Eric Holder, led the condemnation Sunday, describing Trump as “dangerous/unfit” and pointing out that even president Richard Nixon’s top lawyer resigned when ordered to probe a political opponent. “In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents. “Winning candidates don’t threaten to put opponents in jail,” said former George W. Bush White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. Trump is wrong on this.”Bush speechwriter David Frum said: “Who would consent to serve as attorney general to a president who believed he could direct prosecutions of his political opponents?”AFP/CC
